“A Million Ways to Be a Good One”

May 15, 2012

I’m a little late on the draw with a mother’s day post, but I still wanted to share this beautiful quote, shared with me by my mother in one of her beautiful collages creations. Happy Mother’s day, moms! Pardon the quiet around here–I’ll be back to my regular posting schedule as soon as I recover…

While We Wait for Life to ‘Load’

April 23, 2012

I watch the blue, pixel stream surge along its banks as my email loads, and remember the days of dial up. Back then I’d set the computer to do a task and go off and busy myself so I didn’t waste precious moments waiting for the page to load. Sometimes it was 3 paragraphs in…

In which we enjoy our spring bike rides…with a side of milk

March 26, 2012

I did a crazy thing the other day. We were just getting the bikes hooked up for a family bike ride, when I remembered we were out of milk. I looked at the clock–there wouldn’t be time to fetch it before a ride, nor after. We would have to do both simultaneously. Jeremy gave me…

Little Listening Ears

March 17, 2012

One day my boy came downstairs and announced, “Mom! God talked to me!” I was terribly excited. “Really! What did He say?” “He just said ‘Jesse! Jesse! Jesse!’ over and over.” I could tell he was a bit confused, if not discouraged. I sent up a flaire-prayer for wisdom and received sudden inspiration. I stepped…

A Dinosaur and “Pat”

February 20, 2012

Today he read his first solo word, “Pat”. With a single glance, he belted it out. A channel has opened and the water will never run the old route again. I wanted him to remember this moment as I fondly remember the day I read my first word, so I squealed and cheered until my…

The Birth of Claire Anneliese

November 30, 2011

Three years ago on Monday, we welcomed a little princess into our world. We celebrated with some new doll clothes, a pink and orange pennant banner, a trip to the zoo, and something chocolatey. And today on the blog, in honor of her birthday, I bring you her birth story, as recorded in my journal…

I’ve just got back from a weekend in Harrisburg, PA, attending the Christian Women’s Blogging Conference, Relevant. It will take months to process and recount to you all the beauty, inspiration, and practical insight I received from this conference, but I simply can’t wait to share with you the Most Memorable Moment I exeprienced. No…

On Top Of the World

October 8, 2011

  Six Years ago today, Jeremy and I tied the knot…   (no, I did not scrape my name into the seat of the ferris wheel with my diamond – I just found my name and posed next to it!)   These photos of our family riding a ferris wheel last month aptly describe how…

Of Pancake Zoos and Native Accomidations

September 17, 2011

 Our road trip last month was another chance to relive some fond memories and experiences from the homestead. Considering the bus’ difficulty keeping us cool at times, we cooked outside as much as possible. Thankfully, I don’t mind cooking over an open fire. Apparently, neither does my father-in-law.  His specialty is shaped pancakes, which thrills…

A Little Birthday

Today we celebrate the day Seth Franklin came to live with us. Pardon me if I cry while I write this post? These pictures are just so sweet, and I can’t believe how blessed I am… Seth was born at home…welcomed warmly by his adoring big brother and sister. I called him my little California…

 If it seems a bit quiet on the blog, it’s ’cause we’re out on the lake and you can’t hear us yelling from where you are!We’ve gone into summertime mode – making the most out of the few weeks out of the year that the lakes are actually warm enough to swim in – Whoop!…

In Which We Meet a Worm and Tour My Garden

June 14, 2011

I get really nervous in front of a video camera. (This is something I’m really trying to get over so I can make a promotional video about my new book – pray for me?! Thanks) Apparently I’m ok behind the camera, ’cause I had fun making this video for you all. I have a tendency…

Horse Parking Next Door

June 8, 2011

A garage sale down our road brought more than the usual traffic on our little back road the other morning. The local Amish are always first on the scene. They took advantage of the empty, unmowed place next door to park their horse. The kids changed out of pj’s as fast as possible and headed…
